p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A Moment of Truth


The Streaked Wall is a dominating rock face in Zion National Park as you are approaching the canyon from the west or driving the switchbacks to the tunnel entrance. On this particular morning in early April, overnight storms provided snowfall in the eastern section and wonderful morning lighting in the western part. Clouds and sky were in quick motion and a glance out my side window demanded an immediate stop. There were only a couple of minutes of breathtaking excitement before the light beams moved to the base of the cliff. I fortunately had my gear ready to go and created this image at a turnout on the way to the tunnel. As my friend Don told me, 'Chance favors the prepared'. How true. A cropped frame from the Canon 11-24 and 1DsIII. (This is an improved version of an image already posted on the Canon Forum).

This is a great shot. I have taken many images from the pull outs along here, but never with such great light.

Very nice Jeffrey. I still am working on being prepared with a 4x5 for moments like these

Beautiful Jeffrey. I really like your very natural post-treatment.
You worked the clouds and light very well.

I'm really digging the spotlit lighting, and the very natural look to the image. It took me a moment to get my bearings of where you shot this.

Seeing as how you've already been to Zion in early April, I guess this means that I probably won't run into you when I cruise through there in a few weeks? I still think it was crazy that we ran into each other there last year.

Excellent image Jeffrey!

So true about "Chance favoring the prepared" also!

Seen it too many times right here on this board...

Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments. Sometimes the scene just screams to you DO IT NOW! Must obey.
